Does cloud providers share the IP addresses and the alloted users to these big corps and defect the whole purpose of a privacy frontend? Are there any service (FOSS) that could randomise my servers IP?

Might be a noob question but I want to start self hosting.

    True, but… First, they get way less data because most JavaScript was cleared out and that cuts tracking by 95% (just to put some figure). Secondly, the idea with those frontend is to have some control (e.g. recommendation algorithm is cleared, or you get to access content without an account, etc.) so, overall there are advantages. Of course, it’s a compromise situation.
